When writing was first introduced, Plato warned it would destroy memory.

When the printing press emerged, scholars feared it would flood the world with unfiltered ideas.

When novels spread, doctors warned young women might lose touch with reality.

When TV came, it would rot your brain.

When the internet rose, it was the death of attention.

And now we have AGI?

Same pattern. Same panic.

But here's my question: Is this time actually different?

Or, are we just afraid, once again, of a tool we haven’t yet learned how to wield?

Everything they predicted was true, some of their concerns were benevolent, some malevolent. But in each case the gains outweighed the costs.
